As July gets under way, it’s time to review positions with July options that remain open (haven’t already hit profit targets or been stopped out).
Most trades I put on for All Star Options tend to have a minimum duration of 30 days (short premium plays) and often as long as 6-8 months (for long premium plays).

From an options trader’s perspective, unfortunately there isn’t a ton of options volume and open interest in many of these names. This is a bummer.
But have no fear, there’s still a smart, risk-defined way to play the space. [Read more…]
Bullish internet stocks continues to be a theme that interests me. Regardless of your political affiliation or taste for conspiracy theories, the effects of the pandemic are still being felt and life doesn’t appear to be getting back to “normal” any time soon.
